I think the fight was fixed. I am not sure at all if Jenz Pulver could beat Faber, but there were so many holes in there I couldn't watch the entire fight. Half way through the first round I told myself that it was going to the cards. So many pulled punches and missed opportunities that I never recall happening in a match of UFC championship calibur. Sure, you could say Jenz has lost a step, or was intimidated, or even that I have grown paranoid of the UFC (and many other MMA organizations') credibility. But I simply can not with an honest heart state that I even feel as if the fight might have been straight forward.

I seriously doubt that Jens would have taken anywhere near that amount of punishment had the fight been fixed. If they were going to fix it there would have been a stoppage or knockout. I just can't see someone of Jens' calibur willing to risk permanent dissfigurement for a fixed fight. I understand your point about pulled punches, but honestly, I think Faber just overwhelmed him and had him off balance.

You're a moron, both guys hit each other with full power shots throughout that fight. Jens couldn't defend the takedown and deal with Faber's freakish speed at the same time, so he got beaten to the punch a lot.
